In the feudal dynasty, the emperor was regarded as the ninth and fifth emperor, holding the power of life and death, as long as someone did not obey him, the emperor could easily take his head. However, there are always exceptions, in the feudal dynasties of the mainland, there have been many puppet emperors. Although they are emperors, they do not have any real power in their hands.
In such an embarrassing situation, some puppet emperors were deposed or executed. Of course, there are also emperors who endure humiliation and regain military power. Just like what we said today is Yang Xingmi. In the last year of the Tang Dynasty, Yang Xingmi participated in the peasant uprising in the Jianghuai region, and after the failure of the uprising, he was arrested, and the assassin Shi Zhengdi, who arrested Yang Xingmi at that time, secretly released him because he was a talent.
Later, Yang Xingmi was recruited as a state soldier and was soon promoted to captain. Because Yang Xingmi can fight and loves to make friends, his prestige in the military is relatively high. Later, Yang Xingmi took advantage of the chaos to occupy Luzhou. Originally, the Tang Dynasty sent an army to suppress Yang Xingmi, but there were constant uprisings everywhere, and in order to appease Yang Xingmi, the Tang Dynasty worshiped him as the assassin of Luzhou.
At the end of the Tang Dynasty, wars and chaos occurred frequently, and wars between various places lasted for many years. After a long period of melee, Yang Xingmi gained a foothold in the Jianghuai region. In 902, Yang Xingmi established himself as king of Wu. Of course, Yang Xingmi was able to become the King of Wu thanks to the support of his fierce generals. In order to consolidate their position. As soon as he ascended the throne, Yang Xingmi married his sister Zhu Yanshou, who held a heavy soldier, and was made empress.
However, when Yang Xingmi thought that he had already sat firmly in Jiangshan, he found that Zhu Yanshou had already controlled the military power and directly emptied himself. In order to save his life, Yang Xingmi had to pretend to be blind for three years. During these three years, in order to let Zhu Yanshou let go of his guard, Yang Xingmi deliberately walked and touched the pillar, so that his head broke and bleed.
Later, Yang Xingmi gradually co-opted those who opposed Zhu Yanshou. Once, Yang Xingmi learned that Tian Fu and An Renyi, the two ministers, were going to rebel, and he thought that these two people did not have much courage and should be Zhu Yanshou who wanted to rebel. Therefore, Yang Xingmi told the empress that he was blind and his son was not doing anything. So he told the empress that he wanted to entrust his son to Zhu Yanshou. After listening to her husband's words, the empress believed it to be true and hurriedly summoned Zhu Yanshou into the palace. However, just as Zhu Yanshou entered Yang Xing's secret palace, he was directly assassinated by the left and right guards. Later, Yang Xingmi regained military power, killed all the ministers who opposed him, and deposed the empress, allowing her to remarry someone else.
